What is Baptist Metabolic Weight Loss Clinic?
Baptist Metabolic Weight Loss Clinic is a medical weight management clinic run within Baptist Health, a health system in Jacksonville, Florida. Its main work is non-surgical medical weight loss. It has offices Downtown and in Nocatee, and its booking line covers both. The clinic does not say which address goes with which office, so confirm that before you go.
Two prescribers are named: Casey Bonaquist, DO, listed as the clinic's bariatrician, and Rachael Cardey, PA-C. The services include evaluation of underlying conditions, weight loss medications, medication optimization, behavioral therapy, nutritional counseling, health coaching, body composition scans, and connection to bariatric surgery with support for surgery patients. The medication class it names is GLP-1s, which it describes as FDA-approved.
In its own words: "We use evidence-based, FDA-approved weight loss solutions to get you on the road to better health."
Google lists it as a weight loss service with a 5 rating from one review.
This listing is for its Neptune Beach office at 700 3rd St Suite 102.
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices, a consultation fee, or a statement on whether medication is included in any charge. It also does not say whether it accepts insurance. Baptist Health's general billing section lists insurance plans accepted, a cost estimate request, and a financial assistance program, but nothing says whether any of those apply to this clinic. Call 904.202.1795 and ask for each charge in writing before you book: the first visit, each follow-up, the medication, and any lab work.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask who signs the prescription, and whether Casey Bonaquist, DO, or Rachael Cardey, PA-C, will manage your care.
Ask whether any monthly fee includes the medication, and whether the drug is brand-name or compounded. The answer changes what you are paying for.
Ask what follow-up visits, lab work, and body composition scans cost, and whether insurance applies to any of them.
Ask whether follow-up visits can be done by telehealth. The clinic does not say.
Ask for the hours at each office, since none are listed. Ask which address your appointment is at, too.
Ask how cancellation works and whether there is a membership term or a contract you must sign.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want medical weight management inside a hospital system, want a physician or physician assistant as your prescriber, and can get the full cost in writing before you commit. If you need published prices, a fixed monthly figure, or telehealth you can confirm in advance, call first and get those answers before you book.
